About the course

In South Africa, religious marriages are in the main not legally recognised. Although the Constitutional Court recently found that the non-recognition of Muslim marriages is unconstitutional, Muslim marriages still need to be regulated by legislation.

Pending legislative regulation of Muslim marriages, it is important for parties to enter into legally enforceable Muslim marriage contracts to regulate their religious marriages.

It is hoped that after completing this course, participants will have acquired sufficient knowledge of Muslim family law and marriage laws in South Africa to enable them to draft a Muslim marriage contract that will afford adequate legal protection for the parties.
